#SEC on #Celsius Chapter 11 #NovaWulf Bid after Judge Glenn request to comment - they have no comment on the bid protections motion and also said they "do not yet have all the facts and details that may be necessary to fully evaluate the transactions." cases.stretto.com/public/x191/11…
The states are also not taking a firm position until they can see the actual disclosures. They aren't aware of any specific issues with the general plan outline and are not opposing the bid protections motion at this time. cases.stretto.com/public/x191/11…
Washington also added an addendum stating that the Uniform Money Services Act of Washington and Consumer Loan Act of Washington require licenses that may still be required even if they are only servicing existing loans @DavidJAdler1991@CelsiusLoans@elveton101
Remember when I used to get bashed on spaces for bringing up regulations as the key to getting out of Chapter 11? #Celsius filed a statement about the regulatory qualifications of #NovsWulf & preparations to address regulatory compliance issues. Read here: cases.stretto.com/public/x191/11…
NewCo will only interact with retail with respect to settlements or the administration of their Claims under the Plan & will provide no trading or market-making services. It will provide services to US Qualified Institutional Buyers & offshore investors only ($5m net worth+)
To address some of the bid protection concerns, they propose delaying the approval of $5m of the proposed Expense Reimbursement until the Disclosure Statement has been approved to limit exposure until the plan process has progressed.
They mention ESTs will have a secondary market on the Provenance Blockchain, an SEC-regulated ATS; that fiat transactions will utilize Figure Payments Corp., which has MTLs in 49 states. Anchorage, which is exempt from MTL requirements can make transfers in all 50 states.
If they are unable to distribute Liquid Crypto on the effective date, the debtors can make distributions in fiat. They are finalizing a partnership with Anchorage, the only federally licensed bank able to custody crypto assets, to serve as the custodian for NewCo Assets.
NewCo plans to maximize value of illiquid assets via mining business, direct $ETH staking & realization of the PE & Venture Capital investments, structure settlement servicing of the existing retail borrowers, and managing the institutional loan portfolios.
ESTs and MSTs under the plan will be issued to creditors under section 1145 of Bankruptcy Code. Celsius, UCC & #NovaWulf share same philosophy -- feedback from the regulators now allows for meaningful iteration of the Plan, if necessary, thereby creating the best odds of success.
I’ll share updates from my meeting with #NovaWulf on my AMA tomorrow after the YouTube video on my assessment of the Series B ruling. Set a reminder here: twitter.com/i/spaces/1lDGL…
Latest #Celsius Chapter 11 Updates For Creditors with TL:DR:
Settlement of litigation from a former employee that did not have a separation agreement but alleged discrimination. She brought a case against Celsius in the UK and given the @CelsiusUcc involved with litigating it, #Celsius and the UCC decided to settle cases.stretto.com/public/x191/11…… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Flow Diagram of #JasonNewCo#NovaWulf Bid Reorg in one slide. I had my first call with the full team to understand more about regulatory model & a regulatory model was submitted for regulators to give feedback on the docket. cases.stretto.com/public/x191/11…
— #Celsius reiterate major plan benefits — 1) 100% of common equity to General Earn Claim holders in the form of Equity Share Tokens (ESTs). 2) Management Share Tokens (MSTs) to General Earn Claims get an annual distribution eq to 50bps of NewCo Fee-Paying Asset Value and a 2.5%… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Looks like they're settings the stage for the litigation trust. If you want to get in trouble with your significant other read this on Valentines Day inserts of being romantic. ❤️
One of the valuable assets for creditors is the personal wealth of the insiders. Here is how they unjustly enriched themselves using our funds & what they want to come after.
1/4) If we don't see a #Celsius plan on 2/15, we're probably all getting liquidated $USD back at this point. Regulators are running low on patience. Time to show the plan Celsius. No more messing around cases.stretto.com/public/x191/11…
2/4) Multiple state entities (Alabama, Arkasas, DC, Hawaii, Maine, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, California) agree that the estate has been bleeding funds and Celsius has not proven that they are ready to present a plan.
3/4) They note the "devastating report of the Examiner" and they are interested in the Trustee motion if the facts surrounding the Special Committee members appointment and degree of actual independence present a conflict in discovery.
"For the reasons detailed below, the Court finds, on the evidence before it, that the Terms of Use formed a valid, enforceable contract between the Debtors and Account Holders, and that the Terms unambiguously transfer title and ownership of Earn Assets deposited into Earn…
Accounts from Accounts Holders to the Debtors. The Court also finds that stablecoins, like other Earn Assets, are property of the Estates and the Debtors may sell the stablecoins outside of the ordinary course of business to provide liquidity for these Chapter 11 proceedings."
#2. Returning about $1.3 mm coins that were apparently accidentally transferred to Celsius after the bankruptcy filing cases.stretto.com/public/x191/11…
